Ovie Soko divides fans as he becomes the latest celebrity to shave head in isolation

Ovie Soko has shocked fans as he becomes the latest celebrity to shave their head during lockdown.

The 29 year old took to social media to share a photo of himself after taking to the clippers, but left fans divided with his new look.

Love Island star Ovie posted a selfie showcasing his new look to his 2.2million Instagram followers, with just an emoji of a pair of eyes as the caption.

His former co-star Amber Gill was amongst the first to comment on the post, writing: “What happened?”

One fan shared her concerns, commenting: “I was just about to type this,” as another joked Ovie was going through a “lockdown mentality crisis.”

A third wrote: “we are thankful for your hat and durag collection right now.”

A fourth fan joked: “still love you though but we might need to grow that back.”

However, Amber’s ex-boyfriend Greg O’Shea was a fan of the new look, writing: “I always said you’d look great bald.”

Marvin Brooks, who also starred on the hit ITV2 show with them last summer added: “I’m dead! Somehow you still don’t look that bad.”

Another fan joked: “Go on slap head!” as another wrote: “I had to stop to say you look handsome as f**k King.”

Over the weekend, former The Only Way Is Essex star Mark Wright also debuted a new look as he shaved his head.

Michelle Keegan’s husband snapped a photo of his new hairdo while going topless in his garden, captioning the image: “Isolation made me do it!!”

Mark also documented the haircut on his Instagram Story, sharing a picture of his clippers alongside the words: “Quarantine haircut pending. Stay tuned.”

He then warned that he will be nominating others to do the same while in isolation and take the plunge to shave their head.

“So, I’ve obviously cut the barnet for quarantine life. The question is, if you’re sent a challenge on Instagram during this period, you’ve got to accept it, am I right in thinking that?

“So, I’m going to challenge a couple of people so shave their nuts, not them nuts,” Mark joked.

“Stay there… I’ve got a couple of people in mind. Send me your suggestions of who you think I should challenge,” he continued.
